Ditated Invasions of Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, Lesotho AFRICAN STATES AND THE SOUTH AFRICA PROBLEM Boniface I . Obichere The prob 1em of apartheid in South Africa is an African lem. It fs a problem that is basic to the existence of many independent states of contemporary Africa. Africans find themselves in positions of political, religious, omic, social, cultural and military leadership owe it to er Africa and humanity to face the problem of Apartheid in h Africa as a most urgent problem ca 11 ing for immediate tion from within. The co-operation and collaboration of nations and peoples of Europe, Asia, the Americas and ra 1asia can be sought and shou 1d be engendered in the ecution of military and diplomatic tactics and strategies the elimination of aPartheid in South Africa. Recently, positive action was taken by the African states are members of the British Commonwealth of Nations by r effective boycott of the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh 11 as the associated Commonwealth Art Festival which d in Edinburgh on July 17, 1986. The remorseless and 1 massacre of unanned Africans in South Africa, the ditated invasions of Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, Lesotho other independent African states by South African forces impunity, the obdurate relentlessness of the Pretoria and their many other international and domestic crimes more than enough justification for concerted Africa iation •by any means necessary," according to Malcolm X. castigation of the white minority rulers of South Africa r. Kwame Nkrumah on April 7, 1960 during the Positive t n Conference For Peace and Security in Africa held in c still holds true. He stated: •tt is ironical to think the rulers of South Africa call themselves Christians. hri s t were to appear in South Africa today he wou 1d be fied by them ff he dared to oppose (as he would) the 1 laws of racial segregation. Apartheid and nuclear ns must shake the conscience of the Christian world. But are the churches of the world doing about these very n adictions of Christianity?" (Samuel Obeng, The Selected hes of Or . Kwame Nkrumah . Accra, w.d., Vol. I,.p. 52.) In an essay published on July 21, 1986, Vishwas R. nde in West Africa, {No. 3594, pp. 1511-1512), Or . I h's views were expatiated uoon and the statement was that "one of the startling incongruities in South ri a--heaven knows, there are enough incongruities there--is I the country regards itself as Christian." He went on to f out that the Afrikaners believe that their rule in South r a 1s divinely ordained and they do find biblical 84 rationale according to the warped tenets of their Dutch Reformed Church. Even though we have asserted that the prob 1em in South Africa is an intrinsically African problem, it goes without saying that African leaders and African states welcome the cooperation and support of other nations in the search for a resolution of the unnatural and repugnant apartheid system as practised by the white minority regime in contemporary South Africa. This is where the question of economic sanctions and other related sanctions come into focus. These will be more effective if African, European, Asian and American states impose them as members of the international comity of nations. In recent months we have heard a lot of political rhetoric and propaganda against sanctions as tools for dealing with the South African prob 1em. Even from Washington. 0. C.. we have heard the ruling class decry the clamour for •pun i tive sanctions." By definition, all sanctions are punitive in the modern politics of nations. "Sanctions are coercive measures, usua l ly taken by several nations together, for forcing a nation considered to have violated international law to stop the violation." Sanctions may consist in withholding loans. limiting relations, imposing a blockade, curtailing trade. divestment of capital, ban on new investments, travel restrictions. etc.. Therefore, it does not make sense to argue as Washington and London have done recently that •punitive sanctions11 were not to be considered against South Africa. The most ridiculous aspect of the Anglo-Saxon argu­ ment against sanctions is that black Africans would suffer more than white South Africans if sanctions are imposed on the white minority and illegal regime in Pretoria. The best answer to this lame argument was given by none other than Winnie Mandela who stated that Mrs. Margaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan has no right to prescribe to black Africans how they should suffer. Winnie Mandela speaks, in this resPect, for millions of Africans and non-Afri cans who are of the persuasion that both Ronald Reagan of the U.S.A. and Margaret Thatcher of the United Kingdom are woefully and shamefully out of touch with international reality as far as South Africa is concerned. Blacks in South Africa have suffered in varying degrees since before the battle of Isandhlwana when Sir Garnet Wolseley conquered the Zul u ki ngdom under Cetswayo in 1879.• Blacks in South Africa have suffered in varying degrees since the inequitable and unholy unification of South Africa under British initiative in 1910 . Indeed, Margaret Thatcher should not arrogate to herself the job of prescribing the dosage of suffering Africans should *See "Resistance Against Intrusion: A Case Study of Isandhlwana.• M.A. Thesis by Seshi V.

It is a manifesta­ n of her racism, her callousness and what the Editor of t Africa (No. 3594, July 21, 1986, p.1507), aptly described a pos tion of obdurate ignorance, ~ on the part of this tish Prime Minister with respect to the feelings of the ders of the Conmonwea 1 th. Seventy percent of blacks in th Africa support sanctions against the white regime ording to recent polls quoted by Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu Cape Town. Sanctions, as most people know, are a means to an end and an end in themselves. In this case as in the case of al l sanctions that have been used in modern history, the ective is to impress it upon the murderous regime of Botha his henchmen that they have transgressed against inter­ fonal conventions on the Rights of Man, on Human Rights, on ency and civilized political behaviour and that apartheid t be destroyed. South Africa is a multi-racial state and •a nation of minorities,~ as the Afrikaners would want the ld to believe. Just as the Fascist designs upon Ethiopia the league of Nations powers to their crucial test, in the s of Frederick L. Schuman (1941, pp.235-239), the demand derick l. Schuman International Politics. 3rd Edition, 1) for sanctions against South Afnca has put the Conmon­ lth to the test and cornered Margaret Thatcher. In July 1986, the highly respected Lagos Guardian (Nigeria) ared: ~If Mrs. Thatcher and her cohorts are bent on break­ up the C0111nonwealth, we should give them every assis­ e.• The half-hearted debates about the Ethiopian question 1935 are being reenacted over the question of sanctions nst South Africa.

We are not saying that we sanctions imposed on South Africa in perpetuity. We want e sanctions imposed as a strong demonstration of inter­ anal condemnation of an immoral and unjust system of the ration of races and "the division of populations not ly by colour but also along tribal lines.u The problem of apartheid fn South Africa fs now also to seen in the context of militant liberationist Africanism. The recent visit of the indefatigable rend Jessie Jackson to lusaka, Harare , Gaborone, etc. rscores this fact. So does the visit of Mrs . Coretta t King to Cape Town, Johannesburg, and her meetings witli ie Mandela and the Rev. Allan Boesak, president of the d Alliance of Reformed Churches, and the cancellation of cheduled meeting ~ith Botha.The variety of diplomatic and i ca 1 actions taken by the 1eaders of the independent 86 II states of the Caribbean testify to the Pan-African devotion to the destruction of apartheid. The concerted and consistent action of students in American universities, demanding the re­ orientation of U.S. business investments in South Africa and the successful movement on several campuses and municipalities in America for divestment of public funds from South Africa are testimonies to the non-racial and humanitarian nature of the attack mounted everywhere against apartheid. Of course, one must not forget the violent and vociferous anti-apartheid activities that have taken place all over Africa and Europe, and in some parts of Asia. In June 1986, the Editor of West Africa (London) pointed out that it appeared that RrS: Margaret Thatcher was out of touch with reality in her approach to the general and overwhelming demand for sanctions against South Africa. "Her verbal condemnations of apartheid are meaningless, because her other actions seem to suggest one who really wants to give comfort to the Botha regime," the editorial stated. Mrs. Thatcher and Mr. Ronald Reagan should be advised to take seriously the poignant declarations of Mr. Oliver Tambo, President of the African National Congress (ANC), during his mid-year broadcast this year. He broadcasted on Radio Freedom and distilled the present pol icy and objective of the ANC in these words: " ••• The way forward is not a Botha government, or a President's Council, not a tricameral parliament, none of these things.

  • The Quest for Liberation in South Africa: Contending Visions and Civil Strife, Diaspora and Transition to an Emerging Democracy
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 30, Nr 2, 2000. http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za The Quest for Liberation in South Africa: Contending Visions and Civil Strife, Diaspora and Transition to an Emerging Democracy Ian Liebenberg Introduction: Purpose of this contribution To write an inclusive history of liberation and transition to democracy in South Africa is almost impossible. To do so in the course of one paper is even more demanding, if not daunting. Not only does "the liberation struggle" in South Africa in its broadest sense span more than a century. It also saw the coming and going of movements, the merging and evolving of others and a series of principled and/or pragmatic pacts in the process. The author is attempting here to provide a rather descriptive (and as far as possible, chronological) look at and rudimentary outline to the main organisational levels of liberation in South Africa since roughly the 1870' s. I will draw on my own 2 work in the field lover the past fifteen years as well as other sources • A wide variety of sources and personal experiences inform this contribution, even if they are not mentioned here. Also needless to say, one's own subjectivities may arise - even if an attempt is made towards intersubjecti vity. This article is an attempt to outline and describe the organisations (and where applicable personalities) in an inclusive and descriptive research approach in See Liebenberg (1990), ldeologie in Konjlik, Emmerentia: Taurus Uitgewers; Liebenberg & Van der Merwe (1991), Die Wordingsgeskiedenis van Apartheid, Joernaal vir Eietydse Geskiedenis, vol 16(2): 1-24; Liebenberg (1994), Resistance by the SANNC and the ANC, 1912 - 1960, in Liebenberg et al (Eds.)

  • 200 1. Voortrekkers Were Groups of Nineteenth- Century Afrikaners Who
    Notes 1. Voortrekkers were groups of nineteenth- century Afrikaners who migrated north from the Cape colony into the South African interior to escape British rule. 2. ‘Township’ is the name given by colonial and later apartheid authorities to underdeveloped, badly resourced urban living areas, usually on the outskirts of white towns and cities, which were set aside for the black workforce. 3. See, for example, Liz Gunner on Zulu radio drama since 1941 (2000), David Coplan on township music and theatre (1985) and Isabel Hofmeyr on the long- established Afrikaans magazine Huisgenoot (1987). 4. In 1984 the NP launched what it called a ‘tricameral’ parliament, a flawed and divisive attempt at reforming the political system. After a referendum among white voters it gave limited political representation to people classi- fied as coloured and Indian, although black South Africans remained com- pletely excluded. Opposition to the system came from both the left and right and voting rates among non- whites remained extremely low, in a show of disapproval of what many viewed as puppet MPs. 5. The State of Emergency was declared in 1985 in 36 magisterial districts. It was extended across the whole country in 1986 and given an extra year to run in 1989. New measures brought in included the notorious 90- day law, in which suspects could be held without trial for 90 days, after which many were released and then re- arrested as they left the prison. 6. According to André Brink, ‘The widespread notion of “traditional Afrikaner unity” is based on a false reading of history: strife and division within Afrikanerdom has been much more in evidence than unity during the first three centuries of white South African history’ (1983, 17).

  • Weerstand Teen Huisvesting Van Swart Studente Deur Die Potchefstroomse Universiteit Vir CHO, 1987 Tot 1990 N.S
    Weerstand teen huisvesting van swart studente deur die Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir CHO, 1987 tot 1990 N.S. (Fanie) Jansen van Rensburg N.S. (Fanie) Jansen van Rensburg, Fokusarea vir Sosiale Transformasie, Noordwes-Universiteit (Potchefstroomkampus) Opsomming Die Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir Christelike Hoër Onderwys (hierna PU, of die universiteit) het in 1984 swart studente tot na-uurse studie toegelaat en in 1988 was daar ’n vraag of sommige van hierdie studente se prestasies, wat nie na verwagting was nie, daarmee verband gehou het dat hulle nie in die koshuise op die kampus kon woon nie. Toe swart studente later ook voltyds by hierdie instelling kon studeer, was daar aansienlike druk van binne en buite die universiteit, van individue en instansies (soos Jeugkrag-Potchefstroom en die Senaat), wat wou sien dat daar oopstelling van koshuise vir swart studente kom. Die algemene kritiek van hierdie voorstanders vir oopstelling was gemik teen die diskriminerende aard en uitgediendheid van die segregasiepraktyke op die kampus, veral as in ag geneem word dat die instelling ’n uitgesproke Christelike karakter gehad het. Die Raad het egter in sy proses van besluitneming vae argumente aangevoer in sy weiering van oopstelling. Die Bestuur van die universiteit het die Raad pligsgetrou bygestaan deur met vaaghede, ontkennings en verplasings van betekenis die aksie van die voorkoming van die oopstelling aan die gang te hou. Die Raad het nie net geweier om bestaande koshuise oop te stel nie, maar het ook later met teësin alternatiewe planne beraam. Daarom het die universiteit baie laat in die geskiedenis van die oopstelling van koshuise op Suid-Afrikaanse kampusse bloot vermeld dat koshuise wel vir alle “bevolkingsgroepe” oop is, terwyl hulle toe weer eens verwys het na wat die “karakter” van die universiteit is, net soos by sy vroeëre weiering tot oopstelling.

In the comics, the X-men and others like them, were often victims of mob violence 31 January 2017 perpetrated by the hate group, “Friends of Humanity.” This is similar to the violence carried out Art Imitating Life against minorities by the Ku Klux Klan. There is no doubt that both groups struggled against “Your humans slaughter each other because of the color of your skin, or your faith or hateful humans. your politics, or for no reason at all. Too many of you hate as easily as you draw breath” Equally important are the characters and people involved. The leader and founder of the -Magneto (Stan Lee).
